Yamaha’s YRi-V Offers Fastest 3D AOI on the Market Today
April 7, 2022 | Yamaha Motor IMEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Yamaha Motor Intelligent Machinery (IM) offers the fastest 3D automated optical inspection on the market today in the YRi-V hybrid 3D multi-purpose AOI system. Designed to serve all markets that require ultra-high-speed and precision 3D inspections, YRi-V systems feature mounted coaxial lighting and 12um, 7um, 5?m lense options that support high accuracy and high-speed performance.
The YRi-V can achieve 56.8cm2/sec. inspection speeds under optimum conditions, with accuracy ensured by its 8-way projectors and 4-way oblique imaging through its 20 Megapixel angle cameras. Lens/coaxial lighting options ensure very high resolution, well-suited to device inspection. Notable features include the following:
- New 5um resolution for narrow pitch 0201mm devices;
- New co-axial lighting system for finding defects in reflective surfaces;
- New camera and projector system that offers improved inspection capability;
- New AI supported easy programming and job creation;
- New unified YR platform machine interface.
Most notably, YRi-V can convey large PCBs, with L610mm and W610mm dimensions as a standard. The dual-lane system can convey large PCBs with W320mm on the two lanes. Additionally, the newly-developed Dual Lane system can operate dynamically with 1 fixed and 3 moving rails. The system can be easily connected to upstream and downstream equipment; this contributes to establishing dual lane flexibility.

Smart Automation: The Power of Data Integration in Electronics Manufacturing
06/24/2025 | Josh Casper -- Column: Smart AutomationAs EMS companies adopt automation, machine data collection and integration are among the biggest challenges. It’s now commonplace for equipment to collect and output vast amounts of data, sometimes more than a manufacturer knows what to do with. While many OEM equipment vendors offer full-line solutions, most EMS companies still take a vendor-agnostic approach, selecting the equipment companies that best serve their needs rather than a single-vendor solution.
